r1riNnrc of fhnna CT ho in,
ular coachman's livery. For the drive
this committee must be sure to have
sufficient carriages for the presidential

received word from Senator Durant, of

10 join in the procession, and desiring
to know if they would be permitted to
DO so. Judge Flandreau said that the
mere matter of the number appearing
The principal feature, he said, and the
Dne to which all attention should be paid
was the display of the carnival clubs.
The programme as announced by Judge
Flandrau was adopted on motion of Gen.
Sanborn, with such amendments as may
hereafter be found necessary. Mr..
Monfort reported that $500 would be al
lowed by the committee for necessary
expenses pertaining to parade of mill
tary troops, and that Col. Bend had
given his orders with that understand
ing. The question of the participation of
THE LADIES
In the parade, and the matter of floats
was then taken up. Mr.. Monfort said:
sit seems desirable that the ladies
should beinduced to appear in the pro-
ceSSlOn, and some sort of conyeyanceS
should be provided for them-something
in the shape of floats. The gentlemen
who have charge of these floats feel
that they cannot bear the expense of
putting them in order. The committee
thought that sufficient sum of money
should be allowed to turn out three
floats, and that it would take about
300 apiece to rehabilitate them"
Continuing, Mr.. MonfOrt SAID that the
turnout OF the carnival clubs would be

but the committee have recommended
that none but uniformed clubs be al

On. Gen. Ruger and his entire staff, as
well as officers from the garrison at
Fort Smelling, will appear mounted"
Mr.. Kerr said that it was the intention
of the common council committee to ap-
floats, providing they knew how
much money it would take. Mr..
MaXfield spoke about making
use OF the old tally-ho stage coaches and
having the ladies ride in them. Nine
hundred dollars was finally allowed by
the finance committee, $500 apiece for
two floats and 800 for the stages. Gen.
SanbOrn, from the committee on invita-
tons, stated that the invitations have
already been prepared, and are now in

good idea to send invitations
to all those communicating with us in
business way. Mr.. Murray said it would
be well to issue a general invitation
through the press. Mr.. Stone reported
that the 200 badges for the gentlemen
on the reception committee would
probably cost from 800 to $500. P. II.
Kelly suggested that it would be well to
appoint committee to ascertain the
capacity of the hotels and the number
of people that could be accommodated.
